Peeking into People's Places

Search House Nerd

Late last night I was unwinding over some of my favourite blogs and was very pleasantly surprised to see that House Nerd was mentioned in this story over at Homely One! It was accompanied by a photo of my $3 table makeover.

“That table looks familiar…” I thought to myself in that same vague way when you are dazedly wandering about a huge department store and catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror and you hazily think, “wow that girl looks just like me” before you realise it is your reflection (hey I did preface this post by saying ‘late last night’. And no I don’t take drugs).

Homely One blogger Amanda – who is also based in WA like me! – is a former primary school teacher and mum to two gorgeous little girls. She writes about her life cooking, crafting, entertaining and creating a beautiful homely abode, piece by thoughtfully chosen piece. Her blog is well-written and very sweet and I love how honest Amanda's writing voice is, whether she's blogging about the ups or the downs. The fact that she also lives in my gorgeous state gives her posts and her photos something of a nice familiarity too. (From our WA sunlight maybe?)

ABOVE: Some sneak peeks into Amanda's beautiful blog. How gorgeous is the cake she made for one of her daughter's first birthdays? It's festooned with tiny homemade daisies.

When I first started blogging it felt as though every other blogger was In Melbourne, or at least on the east coast. I'm always stoked to find other blogs from Western Australia!
Only just discovered yours recently via The Beetle Shack and have been back several times to trawl through your archives. Love your style!

ps there's a bit of an ooops with your last link. thought you'd like to know.

Talk about a surprise Maya!! Thanks so much for the mention, you're a sweetie. So glad I stumbled on House Nerd a few months back as yours has become one of my firm favourites. I too love the familiarity I find among your posts x

I found your blog via Amanda's post - always on the lookout for new blogs to read - and couldn't believe I hadn't come across it before! Just wanted to say thank you for the lovely comment you left and am looking forward to reading more of your lovely blog :)

Welcome Rachel, fellow West Australian. I too didn't know of any other bloggers based in our state - but since I have started House Nerd I have slowly been coming across more and more WA bloggers, it's fantastic! There's something so nice and comforting and sort of homey about reading blogs by people close to home. I am reading your blog with a big cup of chamomile tea and am really enjoying how you write, looking forward to many more reads (and thank you for picking up my boo-boo!)
Amanda, you are so welcome, I'm always so happy to hear that people like House Nerd :D
Cassie and Natalie, thank you too! I'm still pretty new to the blogging world (I only started writing House Nerd mid-September last year) so I really really appreciate your support :)
